Free Music Notes for Nacho Libre
Free Music Review: A collection of omissions
Hit: 3 Stars
Nacho Libre was a blast to see and has now entered my top ten list of favorite films. One of the elements that made this movie so successful was the great music score that accompanied the film. After the credits rolled, I could hardly wait to see what the songs were, and there were a truckload. Luckily for Nacho Libre fans of the soundtrack, a CD was released for the movie, but whoever edited and chose the selections for the CD either didn't watch the film or has a problem with knowing what a good tune is. The Nacho Libre CD won't be remembered for the various musical selections on it, but what was left out.
The music editors of this CD have selected to leave out a lot of the catchy music and replace them with spoken dialog and dubious choices. I really don't know why they dropped the ball on this as they could have done a much better job in the selection process. True, some of the main theme music is left in such as "Religious Man," "Ramses Suite," and "10,000 Pesos", but the whole movie had so much good music, that it is really a shame that the better tracks were not also included in the CD. I could have done without the dialog tracks and Jack Black's "Encarnacion." The CD isn't all bad, however, and Nacho fans will like what little good music is on there, but this CD could have been much, much better.
Free Music Review: Call Me Next Time You Put a Soundtrack Together
Hit: 3 Stars
Come on, guys! Nacho Libre was the most underrated, overlooked, unappreciated film released this summer, and it looks like the guys who put this soundtrack together didn't think much of it either. I saw the movie four times and loved it every single time. A great deal of its charm was the soundtrack. Great, great songs; fun, catchy and original. I wrote a letter to Paramount Studios begging them to release the soundtrack. While I am ever so greateful they did, I can't help but ask, who decided what songs would go on it? "Mucha Muchacha" is missing, as is "Bubble Gum," and at least half a dozen others. Those songs would have sounded great in the car, driving around! Also, we really don't need Jack Black singing "I am Singing at The Party," or "Encarnacion." I am very glad, though, to have some of the biggest songs from the film; "Religious Man," "Papas," and "10,000 Pesos." But the fact that they left off so many good songs still bothers me.Free Music Review: agree
Hit: 3 Stars
I agree with the previous reviews that the soundtrack is a little of a let down and that there are great songs missing that were featured in the movie. However, I still enjoy it. My husband and I love the movie and I bought the soundtrack as a playtime cd for my 8 mo. infant because she likes dancing together. It doesn't work out so well for that purpose but it is still fun.
